I returned the diode laser unit to Advanced Biotech (global Electrolysis Supply) only a week after I bought it for $2000. After hounding them for my refund, I doubt I will ever see my money. Is there anyone involved in a class action law suit against this company? If so, I'd like to take part in it. Please let me know. Thanks!

I have sent you an email with someone to contact.

Once those people have your money, you probably won't see it again without the help of a lawyer.

Got this autoresponse from these scumbags today

quote:


"Global Returns Dept." <returns@global-electrolysis-supply.com>

Returning Global Elec. Supply Products

****PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL****

For refund request, please fax a copy of your original invoice to 1.419.710.4577 and include a return fax number or email address. Allow 48 hours for a representative to contact you via phone or email with acknowledgement of receiving the fax, and for further instructions on returning your item. Prior approval is mandatory. This policy is in place to reduce damage (cosmetic or otherwise) to products as a result of improper packaging. All packing requirements are sent by email along with an approval number for the return. Please allow 30 days for RMA processing.

Here's the catch: fulfilling the return procedures is designed to be nearly impossible, Best you can probably hope for is a partial refund at some point.

Better to save your money and avoid anything by Global Electrolysis Supply.

It should also be noted that following their guidelines will make sure that you don't start the process to get your Credit Card Issuer into the process prior to the point where you start to loose rights under your cardholder agreement. Anything that you protest right away has more chance of getting the full force of the cardholder agreement rather than something that one waits 30 or 60 days to even contact the card company about.
